(This is the second chapter)

At eight o'clock in the evening on February 28, 1995, the Los Angeles Forum Arena, as one of the most important games of the Lakers in recent times, the home game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Jazz is of course quite interesting, especially for Lakers fans, although the extremely ugly game between the Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers in the last game made the fans a little worried about whether the team would have the same problem in today's game, you know, the strength of the Jazz team is not comparable to the Clippers. If the Lakers' form in this game is as bad as the last game, it will be a disaster for the Lakers, and the Jazz will definitely not give the Lakers as many opportunities as the Clippers did.

"Although the Jazz's table is also average in recent times, but this game is not easy to play, Lin Han's table has been quite average after 94 points, I hope Jordan's table yesterday can stimulate Lin Han, if the Lakers want to have a broader pursuit this season, then this game must beat the Jazz!"

Not to mention that the Lakers fans at the home game of the Lakers and the Jazz are quite apprehensive, even Collins and Larry Bird, who are commentators, are similar, the meaning of this game is actually quite clear to everyone, the Jazz win, it will stabilize its third position, and the Lakers will overtake if they lose, the third and fourth look similar, if the Rockets do not strengthen, then it is indeed about the same, but in fact it is really far behind, No team wants to start with a Big Three team like the Rockets, because everyone knows that whoever plays the Rockets first is a litmus test for other teams. If there is a pursuit of this season, no team wants to be a litmus test for other teams, won't last season's Nuggets be a litmus test for the Jazz to finally beat the Rockets? Neither the Lakers nor the Jazz want to be the Nuggets of last season!

So, after the Barkley deal is over, not to mention the special feud between Lynham and the Jazz. In terms of team relationships alone, neither the Jazz nor the Lakers want to be fourth in the West.

"Well, even if these two teams have been in average form recently, I think they will give their all in this game, right?"

So, when Collins finished speaking, Larry Bird also said with a smile. There is no doubt that this game will be one of the most important games in the regular season ranking this year, and neither the Jazz nor the Lakers will have reservations for such a game!

Moreover, don't look at the momentum of the Lakers chasing the rankings quite quickly. But in terms of real strength, the Jazz team is of course stronger, although in the first three games Malone was abnormal every time he met Lin Han and the Lakers, but in this game, I am afraid that Malone will not be abnormal even if he fights for a qiē, and more importantly, even if Malone is abnormal in the first three games, the Lakers' winning score is not so high. In this case, the Lakers are quite worried about this game.

At the very least, Larry Bird and Collins were still quite worried about Linhan's condition, and the 15-of-55 performance in the last game simply made him and Collins not know what to say. Although he knew that after a player was crazy in a game, he was likely to fall into a low ebb next, but at such a critical moment, he still didn't want Lin Han to be at a low ebb at such a moment.

It's just that they also know whether Lin Han is at a low ebb at this time. It's not about what they think, it's about Lin Han's actual situation!

"Can the Jazz really upset the Lakers on the road in this game?"

When the Jazz players came out to the boos of the Lakers fans in the stadium. When Lin Han, as the penultimate one, played in the huge cheers of the fans in the audience. Looking at Lin Han, who was standing in the middle of the court with a smile on his face, Larry Bird also thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, Larry Bird is not very clear about Lin Han's state, but Lin Han is quite clear, after the last game, he has obviously saved up to 97 character, which is close to 100 character, for Lin Han, make a choice between breaking out some character and maintaining such a high character, Lin Han will of course choose not to break out, especially at the critical moment when he competes with Jordan for the scoring title, but in the end, Because he was cheated because his character was too low before he used Lady Luck's lamentation, although the character of 22 was compensated is equivalent to the character of 44, this person's character is not low, and it definitely has a considerable influence on the game, but Lin Han still feels a little lost.

Of course, no matter what, the system has been forced to explode, and he has no choice, so now Lin Han's situation is that he is not in a very good mood, but his state is definitely quite good.

Because this game was against such a strong and important opponent as the Jazz, the Lakers' tactical play in this game did not adopt the very cheating Princeton tactical system, but restored the previous team's singles mode, so the starters in this game were also a little different from when they played Princeton in the past.

The starting point guard on the Lakers' side is Magic Johnson, the scoring guard is Lin Han, the small forward is Eddie Jones, and the big forward is Rodman, who is affectionately called the ATM by Malone, and the position of the center is the former Jazz player Aaron Williams, because the Jazz center, whether it is Polynice or PJ Brown, is quite limited in terms of power on the offensive end, so the Lakers' center does not need to be very strong, Aaron Williams is not strong enough, but it is quite comprehensive, So in the face of the Jazz, as long as he doesn't let him make up the defense, it's still pretty good, if this guy doesn't make up the defense, this is quite a test of Rodman's defense of Malone, although in the previous encounter, Rodman faced Malone's some pits, although he couldn't prevent Malone, he couldn't reduce Malone's offensive efficiency, but it was definitely able to reduce Malone's shots, when a player's shots were low, no matter how high the efficiency was, especially for star players, many times the number of shots was more important than efficiency.

Of course, the Lakers have a specific arrangement and arrangement for the Jazz in this game, and the same is true for the Jazz against the Lakers, and the Jazz start in this game is point guard Stockton. Scoring guard Stephen Smith, small forward is Elliott, power forward Malone, center is PJ Brown!

If we talk about the first three games between the Jazz and the Lakers, the Jazz added a lot of defensive players to the team because they were quite conservative because they were afraid of Lin Han's strength. But this time, the entire Jazz team except for center PJ Brown, the rest of the players are all offensive type, although the Jazz's table this season is quite criticized, but the depth of this team's roster is quite terrifying, and there can be quite a lot of options. At this time, the Jazz bench still has strongmen such as Hornacek and Bryan Russell, as well as Pollinis and David Wesley, and I am afraid that even this bench is much better than some teams such as the Timberwolves 76ers, and it is not necessary to play well in the East this year and enter the playoffs.

And that's why before the start of this game, many people thought that the Jazz could win because when both teams were not in good shape. A team with a strong squad depth has more chances to win.

"It seems that the Jazz are ready to use their height on the front line to deal with Lin Han in this game, the forward players can not only attack but also defend, and they are all taller than Lin Han, which is quite difficult"

Bryan Russell did not start in this game, but replaced Stephen Smith and Elliott, what the Jazz want to do, everyone knows what the Jazz want to do, these two outside players are all-round offensive and defensive, both can organize and can three-point. Most importantly, their offense is also an All-Star level, which can not only contain Lin Han's energy. It forms a pretty good bag for Lin Han, and it can even help Stockton, you know, Stockton's opponent in this game is Magic, and the Jazz team is really worried that Stockton can't handle it, although Magic seems to be old. But in the first few games, the magician didn't feel old, whether it was counting jù or table xiàn.

"Wear down Lin Han on the offensive end. and then used his height at the second and third positions to finch Lin Han, which can indeed make up for the shortcomings of the Jazz's lack of interior defense ability. In addition, the Lakers' interior line, whether it is Rodman or Williams, is quite bad offensively, and one of the two of Malone and PJ Brown can go outside to focus on rotation defense, the Jazz are quite well prepared for this game, and if Lin Han's hand in this game is still as bad as the last game, then this game will be really difficult to play"

"No, it should be said that even if Lin Han feels normal, this game is quite difficult to play, this game Jazz is not just as simple as letting Elliott and Stephen Smith two outside lines to pinch Lin Han, if Lin Han really dares to break through, PJ Brown can also come out, although the Jazz team's assistance defense is average, but this game uses PJ Brown instead of Ponnis, who is more experienced in killing the Lakers, Jerry Sloan obviously has his own considerations"

When Larry Bird finished speaking, Collins finally nodded, before Lin Han's ninety-four points, the league's defense of Lin Han and Jordan was the so-called Jordan's rule, basically one person on the outside, but after Lin Han's ninety-four points, coupled with the arrogant declaration of Jordan, the league's defense of Lin Han and Jordan has simply reached the point of madness, Lin Han's side has not yet reflected it, Jordan's side has been able to clearly feel it, and this game, The Jazz team is obviously going to let Lin Han see this kind of defense!

Just when Larry Bird and Collins were worried about Lin Han in this game after finishing speaking, at this time the referee Bavita had already blown the whistle for the start of the game, and PJ Brown almost didn't have any suspense to jump the ball successfully!

And it's not just the jump ball that succeeds, when PJ Brown's jump ball comes to Stockton's hands, facing the Magic Johnson who has pounced, the Jazz's leading point guard Stockton has smashed the basketball in his hand to the frontcourt!

"What a quick break?!"

And in the almost incredible exclamation of the Lakers fans in the audience, Elliott and Steve Smith were already frantically killing the frontcourt, if it weren't for Rodman's attention being quite focused, in fact, Malone would have rushed up at this time!

Then this fast break of the Jazz team is an opening three-line fast break!

For the Lakers, because the interior strength is too weak and the jumping ability is too poor, almost every game will encounter such a fast attack, when your team basically can't win the jump ball, how can the opponent let go of such an opportunity.

It's just that even though I've experienced this kind of fast break countless times this season. But this time, it's not so common for the Jazz to be almost a team-wide fast-break scene except for the jumping center and the point guard who passes the ball, because it's almost a fast-break without any backroads!

If the fast break fails, the next step is a counter-attack. In the NBA, as long as there is a way out, no one will be stupid to play such a risky offense!

But this time, the Jazz really had an adventure!

And this is also quite unexpected and surprising to Lin Han and the Lakers players on the court, and even Eddie Jones was directly passed by Steve Smith!

"When the Jazz took the risk of taking out their perimeter defenders on the court in this game, they already had such a risky intention in this game. Jerry Sloan has really changed a lot since the end of last season."

Looking at the court, although Rodman had struggled to block Malone, and Lin Han also blocked Elliott, but Stockton's pass still accurately found Stephen Smith, the outside player who had just come to the Jazz in the new season after receiving a pass from Stockton, and completed a three-step dunk directly. There was also a brief silence in the crazy scene of the entire Forum Arena, and I have to say that this time the Jazz team's offense was quite beautiful!

Even Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan, who was on the sidelines, stood up and applauded after his team completed the fast break.

"Bastard, no matter what kind of machinations you play before this game starts, the winner of this game will be us!"

"In this match, we're completely different, and you're facing a completely different opponent!"

Although this time the Jazz team's fast attack, Malone did not get direct involvement. He fell behind after being slightly blocked by Rodman, but when he watched Smith complete the dunk with Lin Han in the back. The Jazz team's leading player was as happy as he was when he dunked himself! Especially when he saw Lin Han's somewhat stunned expression at this time, Ma Long's heart was even more comfortable.

"Are you facing a completely different opponent?"

And just when Lin Han looked at Ma Long's back a little thoughtfully, the other Lakers players thought that something was wrong with Lin Han at this time, so they also surrounded him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine"

And when the other players of the Lakers came around, Lin Han also said with a smile after coming back to his senses.

"Lin. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Although it seemed that Lin Han really had nothing to do, the magician, who was quite clear about this game, still patted Lin Han on the shoulder and said at this time. He knew that the temptation to win this game was too great for Lin Han. Limham is going to be under pressure in this game, that's absolute.

The Jazz's first offense showed the aggressiveness they wanted to win this game, which really surprised many people on the scene, Malone didn't talk nonsense, this game of the Jazz team is indeed different from the previous three games, this kind of ruined adventure, Lin Han and others also feel it.

In fact, when the Jazz's first offense was over, both Collins and Larry Bird, as the on-site commentators, were quite appreciative of the Jazz's aggressive style of play from the beginning.

"This game is quite risky, but this is undoubtedly the right choice, they need to take the initiative in the game, and can't passively accept the Lakers and Lin Han."

"In the face of the aggressive Jazz team, the Lakers, who have some problems with their interior defense, are not very easy to handle this game, and on the offensive end, if Lin Han has a problem, I'm afraid it will be equally difficult, right? I don't know if the current Magic has enough ability to take on the team's scoring."

When the Jazz's offense was completed, when it was the Lakers' turn to attack, although they knew that the Lakers' way of playing in this game would be a superstar tactic, but in the face of the Jazz, it was clear that they wanted to play a frenzied defense, especially when the Magic controlled the ball, when Lin Han came to the halfcourt, the opposite Stephen Smith directly pasted it, and even Elliott was standing one step behind Stephen Smith at this time, although he did not wrap up Lin Han, but everyone knew that as long as the Magic passed the ball to Lin Han, Then Elliott will definitely come up directly and attack Lin Han wildly!

And this kind of defense is the treatment that Jordan has faced in recent times, as long as Jordan passes the half, there is a defender close to him, as long as he has the ball in his hand. No matter where it is, there is absolutely at least a two-person pinch, and if Jordan goes to the three-point line, it is an absolute three-person or even four-person pinch, which is much crazier than Jordan's rule!

It doesn't matter if these teams use such frenzied tactics for a short period of time. It's not clear whether it's going to be used for a long time, but it's clear that the Jazz are going to replicate this kind of defense against Lin Han in this game!

Therefore, although everyone knows the tactics played by the Lakers, it is Lin Han's superstar tactics. But now everyone is looking forward to what kind of answer Lin Han will give this time, you must know that after the game that was killed by the Heat, the Jordan god quickly changed his offensive thinking, and finally passed the ball again, so in the last game with the Cavaliers. scored 55 points again, even Jordan compromised in the face of such a defense, Lin Han received a pass from the magic at this time outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, and after Elliott pounced directly and attacked, Lin Han's choice is also conceivable!

You must know that this double pinch attack is not something that can be easily cracked by dribbling at the fingertips, at this time Lin Han has not dribbled the ball, if Lin Han dribbles after receiving the ball. The Jazz will definitely give Lin Han a chance to dribble between him, and the PJ Brown in the back has come up at this time, and even Stockton has been moving to Lin Han's side at this time. As long as Lin Han has the intention of dribbling, it is not as simple as two people sandwiching, otherwise, with the energy of Jordan, in fact, he has not encountered a double pinching or something, which will be as miserable as the previous games.

So, after receiving this pass from the magician. Lin Han did not dribble, but grabbed the ball directly with one hand. Facing Elliott and Steve Smith sideways, the two sides are also caught in a confrontation!

"A team plays this kind of defense. The main thing is to frustrate its sharpness, and obviously, this time, the Jazz's tactics have succeeded, and Lin Han's sharpness seems to have really been frustrated."

Looking at Lin Han and Elliott who were caught in the confrontation, Larry Bird also said with some sighs, in the NBA, no one is stupid, who can't see the huge gap in such a desperate defense? It's just that I'd rather have such a gap, and I want to strangle players like Lin Han and Jordan, just to frustrate the sharpness, these teams would rather let other players score than let players like Lin Han and Jordan score comfortably, because after such players find the feeling in the game, it will really be over, just like many undisciplined teams directly use a thug to viciously get that player after a certain player scores consecutive points, and then directly use a thug to get that player viciously, which is used to frustrate the sharpness. And not to really defend the opponent's defense!

When the Jazz showed strong aggression at the beginning of the game, and the Lakers were frustrated as soon as they came up, then the comparison between the two sides can be seen by fools, so Jordan will choose to return to the triangle offense, because he also knows that the simple superstar style of play is most afraid of this kind of frustrated and sharp style of play, if Jordan throws it around in order not to be rubbed sharp, the other party will definitely be quite happy, isn't this how the Heat play the Bull?

Therefore, seeing Lin Han, who seemed to be making a choice on the court at this time, Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz team on the sidelines, also laughed!

No matter how good the Lakers' regular season tactics are, this team has no playoff game, because this team only has Lin Han's superstar play, as long as the other party plays with Lin Han really, and Lin Han is indeed frustrated, this Laker will be finished, so even if the Jazz team is in a very bad situation at this time, Sloan did not put the Lakers on his own level!

"So, we are definitely not going to lose this game, we are definitely not going to let you step on our heads!"

Although this game is just the beginning, Jerry Sloan, who is already using the idea of the playoffs against the Lakers, has seen the bright future of the team in this game, and at this time, Lin Han, who has been confronting Elliott and Smith, actually moved!

And made a decision that almost made everyone in the audience unbelievable, when Lin Han faced the two defenders on both sides of him, after making the action of shooting, there was almost no hesitation, and in the face of the two defenders who had even jumped up to defend, they still chose to shoot by themselves, Larry Bird and Collins, who were still waiting for Lin Han to make a choice, had already stood up directly in amazement at this time!

And after Lin Han jumped, after shooting directly against the two defenders, Ma Long, who was sitting under the Jazz basket not far away, showed an extremely ecstatic look after being stunned for a moment!

"Bastard, you're dead for this game. You're absolutely dead for this game! ”

Malone knows very well what the consequences of Lin Han's choice in this game will be, not to mention Malone, even Collins and Larry Bird know it, so when Lin Han jumps, it is not a pass, but a shot from two people. When Lin Han threw the basketball in his hand, the two commentators directly covered their faces with their hands after standing up!

Even Jordan was killed and brought back to life by such a frenzied defensive pit, can Lin Han do it? Isn't that obvious!

Therefore, even the Lakers players on the court and the Lakers fans on the sidelines were all silent in surprise for a while after seeing Lin Han's shot this time, you know. Although Lin Han has always been known as a cancer, but after coming to the Lakers, Lin Han basically did not play such an offense that was thrown by both people, even in the Jazz, Lin Han rarely did this!

Of course. Although Lin Han's choice is problematic, since this is Lin Han's choice, Lakers fans and Lakers players on the court will certainly not have any opinions, because Lin Han has such a choice.

However, even if Lin Han has such a choice, after seeing Lin Han's ball thrown like this, the Lakers head coach Magic on the court, many Lakers fans on the sidelines, and even Jerry West were a little dumbfounded at this time. Especially Jerry West.

When he invited Carell to come, his biggest intention was to let Lin Han have less attacks like this, and he was acceptable to him. But this kind of offense is very difficult for anyone to accept, but Lin Han obviously played Carell's Princeton so well, why is there still no change in the style of play?!

If Jerry West was just dumbfounded at this time, then as a consultant to the Lakers, Carell did not pass the ball after Lin Han jumped, but shot directly. still sat directly in their place and buried their heads, not daring to look at it at all. For this coach who admires the team incomparably, such an attack is simply a mockery of him and even a stab in his heart!

Especially the players who play such an offensive game are still very much appreciated by him. Lin Han, who in his heart is definitely one of the best team players!

"How can this kind of ball go in, although Lin Han told everyone with this shot, he will definitely not be frustrated, but such a shot is so likely to score?!"

Whether it is a Jazz player, a Lakers player or a fan, although everyone's mood is different after Lin Han's very cheating shot, the idea in their hearts is definitely the same, Lin Han's offense, this is impossible to hit!

Therefore, when Lin Han's shot was completed, under the silence of the Lakers fans in the audience, PJ Brown, who had been cruising to the free throw line position of the Jazz team, was already crazy to the basket at this time to grab the rebound, the Jazz team is quite aware of Rodman's rebounding ability, although Lin Han is on the outside at this time, Lin Han can not think about it, but Rodman is definitely not something that Malone can completely block, so PJ Brown's task in this game is quite arduous.

And when PJ Brown frantically went to the basket, of course other Lakers players couldn't watch from the side, although they couldn't stop Lin Han's pit shooting, and they wouldn't stop it, but they needed to bear the consequences with Lin Han, so for a while, all the players in the entire court were almost crazy after a short stunned!

At this time, Lin Han, who finished the shot, and Elliott and Steve Smith, who completed the defense, also fell from the air, and the three of them all looked at the basket for a while, especially Steve Smith and Elliott, they knew very well what the success or failure of this defense would decide!

The defense is successful, Lin Han will be very pitted in this game, and they will win this game!

If the defense fails, no matter what the reason is, Lin Han will be unstoppable! No matter what the offense looks like in the back, anyway, the morale of Lin Han and the Lakers will definitely reach its peak at this time, and they will fail to suppress the Lakers' style of play as soon as they come up!

Therefore, even in their hearts, these two people didn't believe that Lin Han could hit, but after all, they didn't complete the block on Lin Han!

And just when the two defenders turned their heads and looked directly at the basketball that had appeared above the basket, and the basketball that was almost watched by everyone in the audience fell from the basket, smashed directly on the basket, turned around twice on the basket, and finally turned into the net, Elliott and Stephen Smith's eyes contracted almost rapidly!

entered, Lin Han was almost unreasonable, did not have any offensive rhythm, and even scored three points against the dry pull of two people? !

"This, how is this possible?!"

All the players on the court, including the Lakers players, especially the players on both sides who had already gone to the basket to grab the rebound, saw the rebound that was about to be grabbed by them fall from the center of the basket, and these players almost all had incredible looks on their faces!

And Jerry Sloan, who was already preparing to celebrate the victory just now, had already stood up directly from his seat at this time, and even when Carell saw from his fingers that Lin Han's offensive choice that was more uncomfortable than killing him finally hit, the corners of the old handsome's mouth were already trembling!

"What kind of player is this?!"

Looking at the Lakers No. 24 who had stretched out his right hand and raised it high in the cheers of the fans on the court, Carell was a little confused at this time!

This guy is obviously a person who can be the best team player because he has such talent and ball intelligence, but this guy is a player who is extremely disregarded for the team, and what is even more terrifying is that he also has an incredible tumor talent!

As an NCAA head coach, although he has only spent more than 40 years in the NCAA, for Carell, what kind of player has he not seen in these decades? Even if it's just in the NCAA, which of the most players in the NBA didn't come out of the NCAA? Even Jordan, in Carell's opinion, has never made him so incomprehensible!

This is a player who is so extreme that even the old man Karel does not understand at all!

"I'm not Jordan, and what Jordan can't do doesn't mean I can't do it either!"

Looking at Ma Long, who had turned his head not far away, with a very ugly expression on his face, and even his eyes had shown a very lethal look, and the two Jazz defenders in front of him, Lin Han was surrounded by Lakers players who flocked from all directions after saying a faint word!

At this time, looking at Lin Han, who was surrounded by Lakers players crazily, Collins and Larry Bird, who had already stood up in the commentary seat, shook their heads with a wry smile after looking at each other at this time.

"A great solo performance, and that's Limham"

"It's a fun game, the Jazz want to win, it's not that simple!" (To be continued)
